Question Time
Question from Adam Bandt
The member asked why the government was weakening climate and environment laws and approving coal and gas projects, citing broken promises and threats to species like the maugean skate.
Background: The Greens leader accused the government of gutting environment laws and approving new fossil fuel projects, asking why the Prime Minister was weakening protections.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister defended the government's climate targets and plans, including the Capacity Investment Scheme and Safeguard Mechanism. He highlighted $250 million for land protection and $37.5 million for maugean skate conservation, stating that science guided these decisions. He criticized the Greens for opposing renewable energy projects and jobs in Tasmania, arguing that the government balanced sustainability with economic needs.
Question from Adam Bandt
The member asked why nurses paid more tax than multinationals and why the government would not tax corporations to fund dental care in Medicare.
Background: The member noted that many corporations pay no tax while individuals struggle with basic costs like dental care.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister stated that many large companies do pay significant tax, which funds health and education. He highlighted that the government had redistributed tax cuts from high-income earners to low and middle-income Australians. Regarding health, he noted the tripling of bulk-billing incentives, the opening of 87 urgent care clinics, and the focus on primary care to relieve emergency departments. He contrasted this with the opposition's past record of proposing GP taxes and cutting hospital funding.
